Day 50, Thursday, March 2, 2006 Most of the secondary roads are frequented by floodways, from gullies to slight depressions, through which runoff can cross the roads. This torrent of about 3 inches crossed our path on the road to Capella. Another surprise is that on some of these roads, the seal (pavement) narrows to one lane with gravel shoulders on each side. The procedure is to put two wheels in the gravel, oncoming traffic does likewise, and you carry on. Except if the oncoming is a large truck and it is wet, they don’t take to the gravel if it‘s wet, so it’s all fours in the muck for us. Luckily it’s been dry. The Pioneer Village at Capella proudly displays a Queensland Homestead House dating to 1867, pictured here, with all of the related memorabilia. On the trip back toward the coast, we crossed the Peak Range, this is one of the peaks.
